Same hairdo for the last 10 years, long on top with undercut
Redyed it recently to tidy up my grey bits and a bit of self care
One day I may just say fuck it and shave it all off, or maybe a mowhawk would be cool to see in my mid 50s 🤟
Hell yeah! Go for the fucking Mohawk!! I had one for the last year and recently went to a super short pixie because it’s getting too hot for the mohawk tail on my neck. It kicked ass and I got lots of compliments from friends.
Ohhh a mohawk would be sick!
At some point in the near future I’m probably going to get a tattoo also, but I’m not sure what yet
When Lady Butterfly asked us to guess what her recent tattoo was of, I suggested a flaming skull, which I think could be awesome for a menopausal woman… I’m thinking maybe an Aztec or a dinosaur skull
Sounds like you’re going full punk this summer! Truly the sign of a menopausal woman imo hahah
I’ve stopped dying, aside from the stress on my already fine hair I really like how all the grey is coming through … I’m a dirty blonde anyway, so it looks like extra highlights at the moment :-)
Three months ago I changed my style for the first time in about 5 years. It wasn’t my idea, but it does look much better … only downside is this ones going to need regular trimming - it’s due now in fact, lol
I used to dye my hair often! It’s been blue, pink, purple, green, and silver.
Now my hair is a true grey/silver, so I’ve grown out my natural color and keep it low maintenance.
A couple years ago, I did get a wild hair up my ass and I shaved the side of my head. Some days I think about shaving it all off. Maybe this summer!
I lost all mine to chemo in 2023 and the one time it was a real advantage was on summer days when the temperature hit 30°C or higher. I did buy a wig at the time, but it felt like a steel pot scrubber on my scalp, so scarves were all that covered it until it grew back.
Fuck yeah!! That’s one of the reasons for my undercut, a bit of natural air conditioning for summer
Can you still dye grey hair bright colours or can it damage it? Just for future reference!
It’s SO nice in the summer!
Grey hair is actually kind of resistant to dyes. The texture is quite different from my naturally brown hair. So I think one would still have to bleach their hair before dying for full color. Could look nice as a color wash or pastel colors maybe!
I’m pretty boring - I just cut it once or twice a year and that’s it. I don’t even comb it, my hair is just straight for daaaays. It doesn’t hold a curl. :(
i dont really know anymore. used to be never, id just buzz it all off when it got long enough to need maintenance. im growing it out now and looking forward to it being long so i have some options. id like to dye it but still deciding on a color. maybe black, maybe dark purple, maybe white, maybe a combo.
Quite often. Getting dreadlocks again this fall.
I no longer do. I found a style that works for me and is not hard to care for, so I’m sticking with it. Mind you, on very hot days I’m tempted to have it all shaved off, lol.

(On hot days I tie it up in a peaked bun so I don’t get tempted to shave it away.)
I did that years ago, but at age 68 I look like a witch from a fairy tale with long hair. Plus, it takes ages to dry.
I get a trim and dye it to my signature color once every 3-4 months. The most I do when it comes to styling is a ponytail, maybe braids if I’m feeling fancy.
I get color done once or twice a year. I’m very scared of destroying my hair haha
twice
I never understood people who had the same hairstyle for years. Every hair cut I got was a different style. Changed hairstyles or colors multiple times per year. Until a few years ago I fell in love with a hairstyle I got and have had the same one since.
I change it about once every 7-10 years. Started my 20s short, grew it long in mid 20s before I chopped it off again, grew it long in my early 30s, then chopped it off again in my mid-late 30s.
In my 40s, I’ve had a mohawk and now a super short pixie cut. I like to use Scarlett Johansson’s pixie cuts as a guide when I go to get my hair cut. I doubt I’ll ever grow it out again, maybe just the top longer with an undercut, but I hate hair on my neck so much.
Colors have also been kinda wild. I did a lot of punky colors in high school; green, blue, fire engine red, etc. My hair is naturally that light brown almost blonde with some mild reddish highlights that gets really light blonde when it’s long and I spend time outside. I’ve gone red, blonde, blue-black, and other colors in my 20-40s. I’ll probably use some of the red Punky Colour dye I have soon.
Basically never, although I did recently dip-dye the ends purple which has been fun. Never gone more extreme with dye though.
